A superb gueuze. Poured into a champagne flute. Developed a half-inch head that dissipated almost immediately. The top half of the bottle poured crystal-clear and became progressively cloudier as I made my way down to the dregs. Big, chewy body. Powerfully funky nose with hints of lactic acid, truffle, wet grass, and burnt rubber. The funkiness is more muted on the palate, which is dominated by citrus/green apple tartness that smacks you in the salivary glands. Fruity but bone-dry with no perceptible sweetness - one of the most well-attenuated beers I can remember tasting. Subdued, crisp finish that does not linger. I had this with a dish of seared beef tongue and oven-roasted asparagus. A truly sublime drinking experience!

Poured a cloudy golden color with a finger width foamy head. Head retention and lacing are mild. Has a nice funky, tart, citrus aroma. Taste is pretty much the same but the tartness is amplified. Very high quality. Very good.

Appearance: This beer is moderately hazy with a golden yellow appearance. It has a foamy head, with (what I thought was) a surprising high amount of head retention.

Smell: This beer has a somewhat unpleasant sour, funky smell with some fruitiness. Negligible amounts of hoppiness. However, this is expected for a Gueuze, and it works quite well when combined with tasting.

Taste: The taste is quite incredible. An excellent balance of sour, funk and fruitiness. Not so sour that it's unpleasant, just the right amount to keep things interesting. Certainly unlike any other beer I've had before (having only just begun experiencing lambics).

Mouthfeel: Moderate body with a relatively high amount of carbonation. Quite dry, almost wine-like (but with so much more to offer flavour-wise than wine!)

Overall: This beer isn't readily available where I live, and I happened to have it while on vacation a few weeks ago. I'm still thinking about it. The excellent combination of sour and fruitiness in both smell and taste along with the dry, carbonated body makes for a pleasant, flavourful and, overall, unique experience.

slightly hazy, golden yellow in color. smell is tart, vinegary, maybe ciderish. tastes great. just as i would expect of this slightly big gueuze from Lindemans. tartness up front, slightly dry-like a white wine in the finish. fruity, twangy and makes my mouth water with each sip.

pours a nice orange/amber color with a nice white head. good looking beer.

not sure if all lambics/gueuzes smell like this but i think it smells horrible. it's a sweet/funky smelling beer, it honestly reminds me of a skunked coors light, natty light, etc but a little sweeter.

so glad this tastes 10x better than it smells. a nice tart but not overpowering sour taste.

refreshingly light, goes down smooth. a nice smooth sour beer, way different than most beers i drink.

i want to start branching out to styles i seldom, if ever, drink and this is my first gueuze/lambic. refreshingly light and tart, things i like. the smell is offputting but the taste is fantastic.

D/O - very drinkable,extremely refreshing and every sip is an experience. Really, really well done Gueuze. One of the best beers/ales I have ever, ever had. Worth the price, worth a go, good anytime of year and great with bbq or grilled anything. Had it with a aged cheddar cheeseburger and North Carolina BBQ sauce and it was brilliant.

Final thoughts - $10-12 a bottle is a bit high, however well worth the price tag. The 5.5% ABV is quite low for me, but does and did nothing to not hasten my decision to pick this guy up.

A - Golden orange, mostly transparent but with a definite cast of haze. Sizable head forms that is slow to fade. Mild lacing.

S - Mostly this is a nose of acid notes, with a hint of barnyard in the background, which promises a true sour experience. Notes of lemon, grass, cut hay, over a vinegar base.

T - It follows the nose, with lemon and herbal notes, and a core of acid elements delivering a driving, but very controlled attack. As sour as it is, there is not a missed step, and everything is dialed in, without any noticeable off flavors.

O - Lindemans has a place in my heart, because it introduced me to the wonder of Belgian brewing. That said, it has been years since I bought a fruit lambic from them. This goes a long way to clarify that they bring the goods.

750 ml bottle in a tumbler (don't judge it was away from home you make due with what you have)
A:very effervescent, pours a lovely pale orange, head quickly dissipates
S:funky and fruity, also a hint of peppercorn, a subtle floral note comes out in the nose too, there's a lot going on here
T:lemon, orange and a touch of pineapple are all immediately apparent, obviously tart (but not overwhelmingly so) and funky as is common for the style, very dry, but also crisp and refreshing, very subtle hints of alcohol but they are barely apparent and actually pleasant in the degree that they are present. Black peppercorn is also present, that seems like it would be offputting by it is refreshing and complementary.
M:dry and lingering, tartness stays in the mouth
O: an exceptional beer. If you have never had a gueuze, you should start with this one, it is easy to drink without pandering, it is a good representation of the style and it is easy to find not to mention also being quite affordable (way cheaper than gueuze tilquin) if you like lambics, there's really no reason not to try this one and constantly have a bottle in reserve, a great beer all the way.

Totally flat, without any complexity. Sour and bitter, but that's all you can say of this gueuze. Anyway I will give it a second try, because I hope that maybe it was spoiled by bad storing. Bottled in 9/2013. Opened in 7/2015

Flavors are bright up front with citrus, apple, pear and honey. Mild bread malt character and finishes with a building lemon citrus acidity. Throughout is a vinous quality that accentuates the wild funk and oak, mild vanilla closes the finish.

Carbonation is high, which compliments the thin-medium body. The bright acidity, wild yeast, and palate drying carbonation make this a very easy drinking, yet sophisticated and complex beer. This is an easy to find, yet stellar drinking spontaneous beer, a go-to for the gueuze style.

Aroma: Smells like funky sour apples, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Taste: There’s a lot going on here. This beer is sour and complex. As it approaches room temperate different sour notes comes to the fore – develops a biting apple punch with a shot of orange and lemon to boot. There’s more than one fruit flavor going on here.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, carbonated. This one has ‘bite’.
Overall: This one is a classic. If you haven’t tried it yet you need to. Take your time with this one – the flavor is intense and demands a ‘slow draw’.

- looks very carbonated and bubbly like champagne
- smell very tart and tangy scents a bitterness and sourness as well
-very sour and dry but it has a taste that i imagine cider is supposed to have
- a little carbonated but it doesn't take away from the beer, wine like
-overall a great beer one that is complex but with a simple taste

Poured from a 355ML bottle (bottled on 22Jan14) into a stange glass. Pours with 4 fingers worth (RIDICULOUS) of white foam. Golden in color with a plethora of bubbles and slight murkiness. Has strong sour green Apple aromas and hints of wheat malts and yeast (not a particularly great combination of aromas). Initial taste is mildy sour with green apple flavors. Yeast flavors enter shortly after as sournesss persists. Any malt flavors are overpowered by the sourness. Medium-bodied, somewhat smooth with a crisp finish.

Very tart nose, lots of acidity with green apple peel and musty, leathery yeast. Somehow fruity with a complex tartness, very rich in aromas.

Lighter in body than expected, with a decent tart complexity and very high, refreshing carbonation. Carbonation somehow overlocks the acidic sourness, finishing with a dry, slick aftertaste. Lime and apple sourness hit the palate in a dry but pleasant, uncomprimising way. Requires alomst room-temperature to reveal its sour, fruity layer, but starts to get really convincing then. Still, finish is defined by metallic hints and sour brett flavors, a bit watery, then ending quite tart.

355ml dark colored bottle. I'm wanting to say this is an extremely dark green in color but borderline black. Golden orange label done as all Lindemanns bottlings are. This particular time the bottle was wrapped in a gold foil and corked and capped. Poured into a thin Lindemanns glass I got out of a variety pack. Idk the name with the glass. It's stemmed at the bottom, long and thin.

A - golden honey in color with hints of sitting straw yellow. A hint of haze. Fluffy white head poured massive even with a slow pour and eventually settled into a splotchy ring of lace leaving little stick.

S - my initial impression was a soft natural sort of peach, but as I got going the aroma is more lemon, lemon zest, and a green grass aroma. Sour apple, and light citrus flavors creep up as you get into this beer.

T - lemon, ripe peach, sour green apple, and orange peel are the main notes with a nice balance of sours. Not overly tart flavor it can pucker you up.

M - lightest of medium body with the proper texture for this region of beers. Refreshing, and crisp, flavorful and tart. A good warm weather brew.

O - this was my first true Belgian Gueuze and boy is it good. I'm not one to pick up sours on a regular basis, but I do enjoy them throughout the year on certain occasions. This isn't like the great fruit forward lambics everyone has had, this is bringing much more than just one dominant fruit flavor.

Deep gold / light amber in color and clear with a slight haze. You can tell it's been a while since I have had a gueuze as I rushed the pour, causing a massive amount of foam with very little actual beer in the glass. After about 5 more mins, we finally have a good looking glass of gueuze. Patches of lace on the glass as it goes down.

Complex aroma of lemon, grapefruit, and apples mixed with a funky, earthy, barnyard smell. Very tart flavor and sour. Great balance though, and the sourness never overpowers the malt or other components of the beer. Light to medium bodied. Lively carbonation and effervescent. Very refreshing.

Would serve well as an introduction for someone looking to try lambics or sour beers. Very tart and acidic but well balanced enough to keep it from becoming astringent.

Taste was very metallic and skunky, and did not have a tart/ sour taste like style should have. I was very disappointed but hoping to try this again sometime but will buy from a different liquor store.

Lemony tart nose with hints of wet horse blanket. The barnyard nose is more restrained in this than some other gueuzes. It pours hazy light golden straw with a persistent, very stiff, rocky, finely bubbled pure white 3” foam cap. The beer has a big citrus character with lemon standing out with just enough sweetness to prevent your mouth from puckering. Overall it is very dry and refreshing. The body is incredible – very creamy, smooth and effervescent with a very fine bead. It improves nicely with age.
